Single subject study

Study your way

CAP lets people take academic subjects outside a normal degree structure, offering access to tertiary study at the University of Melbourne for a diverse cross-section of the community.

You may choose to study as an assessed or non-assessed student. Assessed CAP students undertake the same subject workload and assessment as award course students and receive a formal academic record of their study. Non-assessed CAP students attend lectures and follow subject reading programs.

Build your future

If you are thinking about future degree study in the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, CAP is a great way to try it out. While there is no guarantee of selection into degree or diploma courses once you complete your CAP study, it is possible to use assessed CAP subjects as the basis of selection, either to demonstrate academic merit or as a recognised equivalent to VCE.

What you need to know

As a CAP student, you still attend the same classes as other enrolled students. Subjects are not usually taught outside normal business hours. It is important to check the subject timetable before you enrol to make sure you can be at the lectures and tutorials.
